Managed with my only day off yesterday to fit the Triumph stand  Also welded a new lock stop on, couldn’t drill the ally yoke without losing strength  Bit more tidying up and it’ll be ready for powder coat Matt 🐶🐻🐶 |

What an absolute ball ache trying to get the outer casings for the dog bone bushes out of the swinger When i started stripping it ready for coating the inner rollers just fell out with all the rust  There’s virtually no lip inside to get a drift on and it’s as soft as cheese,ended up hacksawing through the pair together plenty of heat and a blind bearing puller and there out at last 😱 Matt🐶🐶🐻 |

That bracket looks just the ticket, thanks Matt. Any measurements would be helpful, I have one to do later in the year.
Cheers.

Tasty. Love Brembos. Are you leaving it all gold or gently sanding the lettering back?

If I was you I would bet them milled off. The machining marks would look proper. A bit like LC wheel spokes. Also you won’t mess it up as it will be super precise. Jon |

I use a block of wood and 240 grit. But then again, I'm not very proper...
